I've added a new boss to the Mushroom Swamp in Lay of the Land. This giant ferocious mushroom will bite, leap and vomit acid onto its foes. Also, beware the poisonous mushrooms growing on its cap. #gamedev #indiedev #voxelgame #voxelart #voxel #procedural #UnrealEngine

I wonder who lives here 🤔🍄🌳#gamedev #indiedev #voxelgame #voxelart #voxel #procedural #UnrealEngine

I've added boss summoning sequences to Lay of the Land as part of the progression system overhaul that I'm currently working on. #gamedev #indiedev #voxelgame #voxelart #voxel #procedural #UnrealEngine

I've added Weapon Upgrading to Lay of the Land. Weapons are upgraded using gems found throughout the world. Each different type of gem gives a unique effect ranging from higher attack speed to setting enemies on fire. #gamedev #indiedev #voxelgame #voxelart #voxel #procedural

The improvements were a combination of data structure improvements & simulating different parts of the world in parallel. It isn't as parallelized as I'd like as it's limited by the data access pattern of the simulation. Each area with the same box color is simulated in parallel

I've made a bunch of optimizations to the voxel simulations in Lay of the Land. Thousands of moving voxels can now be simulated with little performance loss. Also you can now become buried in sand. #gamedev #indiedev #voxelgame #voxelart #voxel #procedural #UnrealEngine
